Please don't mess with administrative boundaries, I've reverted this and the following changesets around the Pentagon

The Pentagon's address is in Washington, DC. So, there should be an administrative boundary between VA and DC here.

Comment from Alecs01
It doesn't matter, it's still Virginia. AFAIK as a non-local, addresses in the US sometimes do not match city/county/state boundaries. From wikipedia: "almost all U.S. government agencies in and around the capital are assigned ZIP codes starting with 20200 to 20599, which are Washington, D.C. ZIP codes, even if they are not located in Washington itself" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_code. Anyway, you can't guess by either aerial imagery or your personal judgement where a border is, nor it can be surveyed usually, we have to rely on some "authoritative" data. The border you draw doesn't exist, have a look at DC open data yourself: http://opendata.dc.gov/datasets/7241f6d500b44288ad983f0942b39663_10
